Up front: I know above subject has been discussed over and over.
Nonetheless..
Is there no way to introduce a kind new feature offering users to 'export' all settings, including registry, etc. to a backup-file.
Optionally, even the indexfiles...
There are quite some other applications offering such a feature, even MS Office does (exporting settings).
Upon a fresh install, users to import those settings/indexfiles, X1 to relaunch after import (needcase pc to be rebooted)
and everything is back to the previous situation.
Of course they need to start indexing again so to catch up and have the latest mails and files also be indexed.
Sure, it may be difficult and maybe only workable as long as the hardware and driveletters donot change and sure,
developers will come up with a thousand 'cons', but the big question is: is it definitely not possible?
Reason for asking this (again) is that one way or the other my index-files got damaged (due to a power outage) and I have
noticed that from some point on, files were not displayed in the preview, though X1 stated that they were indexed.
Eventually I decided to clear the index-files and have all index from scratch, taking a long time (likely whole day),
which might have been avoided if a backup-set would have been available.
